Received the exact same email but from Wah MeI Tat Industrial Inc. Details and method of contact and a representative letter is all the same. Flo Tech Marketing and Trading Company Inc. is also the same. Was asked to contact Clyde Matthews to collect outstanding payments for the company in Japan. Luckily I read these comments and found out your experiences with those scammers. I was almost about to go with it to the end.

Thank you Guys

Received the same letter from Wah MaI Tet to collect on Clyde Matthews of Flo Tech Marketing and Trading, did a bit of research and there was no Flotech in Winnipeg and there was never a company at the address as I contacted the leasing company.

This is why we require representatives in your region who can easily communicate with our customers.

We presently get our payment through checks and draft issued in our favour by our clients, but delay is usually experienced as we are made to wait for up to two month and more before our local banks can clear checks/draft. we are losing a lot of money by doing this as most of our funds is procured as short term loan and overdraft from banks with high interest rate.

I received the same email today as well 5-28-19

May. 31, 2019 at 11:28 AM by an anonymous user from: Needham, Massachusetts, United States

Don't answer it. Its a fraud. If you want more info on it, look at my comments here.

May. 30, 2019 at 5:54 AM by an anonymous user from: Boston, Massachusetts, United States

I received the same email on May 5th, 2019. I researched the company on line, called their number during business hours in Japan and checked out the names of the company officials. They sent a "Memorandum of Understanding" when I provided some information: name, address. I signed the M.O.U. and they emailed me a contact name, phone, and an unpaid invoice from Flotech Marketing & Research in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

I contacted the individual at Flotech, called him, emailed him, and got no response. In fact the email was returned as undeliverable and the phone # had no answering service.

I notified Nichi-Iko contact. I checked out Flotech on line and found a "contact us" button on the website. I email them. Finally, next day I got a call from a Mr. Clyde Mathews who said he had been"tasked" to settle the balance due on the Invoice and check info on where to send money to settle the account in installments.

Next morning, Fed Ex delivers an envelope with a check for a very large amount from "a third party". Nichi-Iko emailed me to deposit the check. In a new, separate checking account, I made the deposit. It would take 3-5 business days to clear the bank said. I sent a copy of the check to N-I. By the end of the weekend, there was a "hold" on the check, then a note to contact the Fraud Department at this large, multI national bank, which I did. The "note" meant the check had been"returned to maker" by their own request, and that the "check didn't match checks for the 3rd party they had on file.

I tried to contact both Flotech and Nichi-Iko many times to get an explanation. There has been no response from either and no further contact with Mr. Mathews. My bank reported this as a "total scam" and cautioned about having any further dealings with them. 'Caveat Emptor'
